At a meeting of bankers, ,can-nerymen- and loganberry: growers, called Friday morning by Joseph H. Albert of the Capital National bank.

The canners declare that they still have large quantities of. last years pack'bn hand that they cab not sell. Quotations have dropped to 50 per cent of the last fall's price, and . still the water-pack berries do not sell. There is -a large, quantity of dried , berries still, on haad in, Oregon, the sale for which . Is , extremely problem atical under; present conditions. ; . Will i Accept Some ' --- The Canners, however, expect to take on: some I new logans this year, mostly : if rnot altogether from their regular customers; who have -other j fruits toi help balance the i trade supply. Itrls -under stood that no. buyers-have offered less than -eents a -pound, though eome -offers of berries have been jstades by: growers for lower prices. -The canneries . are . expected ..to take 50 --percent of their - last year's tonnage. They might, take more as the season progresses a day or two might change the situation considerably. The can neries did not approve of the plan to can the berries, for the grow ers and leave them to run wild in the market to 'destroy every ves tige of stability for the years to come by wildcat selling.' It might be possible for some of the grow ers to arrange for some such plan to care for a few berries., It. was not judged feasible at the Friday conference. Vil Carload Goes Today Friday night the first carload of logans to be shipped fresh' for the past several years was put into the Capital Ice & Cold Stor age warehouse for pre-cooling and for shinment this mornlncr. The terries are of-wonderful quality. The Oregon Loganberry exchange, that is making this first ship ment hopes to handle up to three or four cars a day if the season holds out welL This will do won ders in relieving the situation. The berries have to be picked greener than for local cannery use. They are shipped in shallow hallocks and they have to be of first quality.
